Valve Type

Ceramic DiscThese are becoming the standard in bathroom faucets because they are nearly maintenance free and very long lasting. Ceramic disc valves contain two fire-hardened ceramic discs that control water flow by moving together or apart.

Washerless CartridgeThese valves are easier to repair and tend to cost less than other valve styles, but may require more maintenance over the lifetime of your faucet. Washerless cartridges use neoprene seals to prevent leaking.

SolenoidThese valves are used mostly in commercial applications to reduce the amount of water used. Electronic components control the opening and closing of the valve. Requires electrical power.

Metering and Self-ClosingThese valves are used mostly in commercial applications to reduce the amount of water used. When turned on, water will flow for a set period of time, then turn off automatically.

Like many retailers, FaucetDirect.com can choose to set its own prices independently. And even though manufacturers require FaucetDirect.com and other retailers to display a product's "minimum advertised price" (or MAP), the retailer can choose to sell for less than that. But the price must be conveyed in other ways, and each individual manufacturer's MAP policy determines where the price can be seen.

To see the price for this product at FaucetDirect.com, you'll need to place it in your shopping cart, and maybe even proceed to final checkout. If you're not ready to buy the product, simply remove it from the cart.

FaucetDirect.com apologizes for any inconvenience. We'd just like to offer you the chance to save extra money while we adhere to manufacturers' MAP policies. FaucetDirect.com is also working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact customers and their buying behavior.
